Has anyone used any of the tour companies mentioned in Rick's books? If so, which one are good? Imagine Tours? Visit Provence? Which ones are good for small village touring? Wine tasting? Are there others not mentioned but you would recommend?
Thanks!

My 21yo daughter and I had a great trip last summer with Provence Panorama - we did the all-day Chocolate, wine, villages, monuments tour and loved it. In fact they have my TripAdvisor review on their website for that tour. We were the only people on the tour, and Anne was very flexible; we added a stop at the Roman site of Glanum and skipped the optional olive-oil tasting and most of the Van Gogh sights. I'm still amazed at how much we saw between when she picked us up at 9 and our return about 5.30. I know Provence Panorama runs other tours but not sure if they would meet your interests; you should check them out. I found them on TripAdvisor partway through our stay in Avignon and booked them the day before our tour; you might want to check TA if you are looking for other reviews.
